There are many who ask what is the best bike for there frist. Well this is what I think is the best frist bike for most new riders.

It is the Moto Guzzi Nevada Classic 750, There is a down side, lack of dealers. But it is the best all around motorcyle there is.

The bike I talking about why think it s good for a new rider.

1. it has good hp for a new rider
2. it has a good power band (V-twin are good for that)
3. it is lite
4. Foot controls are in the right spot for a new rider.
6. price is bad
7. good hand controls
8. A good sounding motorcycle
9. shaft drive.

Now get me wrong here, there are a lot of good bikes. I like many of them, and a few I hate, but for a new rider who want over 600cc this one is the best. Japan use to sell some good ones here but they don't anynore. they sell them everywhere but the USA and that's too bad.

the best first bike is one that fits the rider well, doesn't have too much power, and one that won't break the bank when its inevitably dropped. it is impossible to make generalizations on what the perfect first motorcycle is, it varies from rider to rider. some say that the ninja 250 is, and for a lot of people it is. it's a great beginner bike, but for someone like me, i simply don't fit on it, so it's not the best beginner bike. generalizations suck. so does bad spelling

There is no best first bike, only the correct bike to match a particular rider. And that's a matter of personal preference, physical size, strength, and ride style.

you said it perfectly (and way shorter than i was able to manage it too)

The bike I talk about will most riders a hole lot better then what most people are telling them, Go sit on one and you will see what I mean. I like to tell new riders to buy used and small but here are those that want new and there are those that can't fit on small .

I agree you have to do your research and don't just go by what is hot now. And don't just listen to one sales pitch and buy. try a few.

Saying "The Best Motorcycle" for new riders (or ANYONE) is, "_______ " is kinda like saying, "The BEST shoes" for anyone are, "______."

Everybody's feet are different, and everybody does different things on their feet. So, each person needs to try some and find what fits. Same with motorcycles.

We try to offer some very general guidelines: Buy used. Try to stay under 500 lbs, under 50-70 hp. Don't think about buying a bike you'll 'keep for a long time'... Because as new skills mature, many folks discover that what they thought was THE motorcycle, before they ever rode, really doesn't fit or suit how they ACTUALLY RIDE. And it sucks to be saddled with payments on a bike you don't like.
